DVDs need vobs which are almost but not quite mpeg2 streams they have additional navigation packets in them. The only way I've managed to make them on FreeBSD is to produce an mpeg2 video file and an mp2 audio file and multiplex them with tcmplex (from the transcode port). I usually use ffmpeg to do the recoding into a vob file (which doesn't work) and then split it with mpeg2desc (it's in the dvdauthor port) and recombine it with tcmplex. See my post of July 8 with subject "Re: Hauppauge PVR-350 -> DVD query" for the mpeg2desc and tcmplex options I use. I think that the current CVS version of ffmpeg should make DVD usable vob format straight off (without splitting and recombining) but I haven't had a chance to try it. -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirror Arrays The computer obeys and wins. | A better way to focus the sun You lose and Bill collects. | licences available see | http://www.sohara.org/
